Genesis 3:1–10,[1] Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast ofthe field that the LORD God had made.He said to the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You shall noteat of any tree in the garden'?" [2] And the woman said to theserpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, [3]but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is inthe midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"[4] But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.[5] For God knows that when you eat of it yYou shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is inthe midst of the garden and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." [6] Sowhen the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that itwas a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired tomake one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gavesome to her husband who was with her, and he ate. [7] Then theeyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselvesloincloths.[8] And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking inthe garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hidthemselves from the presence of the LORD God among the treesof the garden. [9] But the LORD God called to the man and saidto him, "Where are you?" [10] And he said, "I heard the sound ofyou in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and Ihid myself." (ESV)
